I'm to the point now that I don not see cars when I drive down the street. I see loans driving down the street. So many people are over their heads in loans. Purchases like this make me sad. I'm not mad nor do I think less of FIT or anyone who does this. It just makes me sad to see a whole country misguided by government(subsidized loans), banks, and federal reserve(low interest rates). We are encouraged by parties on all sides to make large financial decisions that have led to individual and societal disaster. The same mentality is taking us there again.
Like you I am very surpised ghastmaster. Especially this coming from FIT.
This whole loan business (ok most people would really need a loan for a house but I mean for everything else) is a symptom of a very sick system.
And we all know who make loads of money because of all these people ''really needing things''. (and last thing I check these are not FITs friends).
And if you want to make the choice for yourself that you want to loan you might indeed also think about what are the risks for the entire worlds economy of this loan system. Many economists are warning again for a new crisis because loaing money is so cheap again, house prices are sky rocketing again, people ''need'' a new iphone every year etc.
FIT I am anyway happy that you are happy with your new car.
My next one will hopefully be an electrical one.....and/or a shared car (but my wife doesn't agree with that).
Now I am driving a 12 year old volvo so i still have a good 10 years before I have to start worrying about a new car.
